Breath of the Wild was the E3 2016 game of show for many outlets over the summer and at the time, it seemed clear that the game would be Nintendo’s flagship title going into 2017. Once all of the E3 hype settled down, a few rumors began to circulate that the title would be delayed until summer 2017 due to localization issues. Despite the speculation about delays, Nintendo hasn’t downplayed Breath of the Wild and even took it to Late Night to give Jimmy Fallon a special hands-on preview....

Unlike most of the Breath of the Wild tricks we’ve shared, this one is fairly easy to pull off. There are no tricky mechanics or platforming needed to make the fireworks show, but there are some expensive and hard to track down items involved. Dragon Horns are a high value item because they have a boosted duration of 30 minutes when cooked into recipes, so blowing them up isn’t something the average gamer would think to do....

While fans have certainly seen eye-catching tributes to Ocarina of Time before, such as the engagement ring modeled after Zora’s Engagement Ring, but perhaps none as time-consuming as this one by TheDominoKing. The images themselves are beautifully shaded by using an enormous variety of colored dominoes, but perhaps the most impressive aspect of the entire endeavor is that they all fall over without a single hitch.

Bob Ross is a popular artist among many, achieving the majority of his fame through his program The Joy of Painting, where he demonstrated how to paint landscapes for his viewers. While many enjoyed following along to teach themselves how to paint, others simply enjoyed listening to the man speak, as he was generally very positive and had a soothing voice to listen to. While Bob Ross has since passed away, he’s still a popular figure in pop culture and among art fans....

More than 70 years after Zelda’s death, that imagining has now come to life in The Paper Dolls of Zelda Fitzgerald, a collection pulled together by Zelda’s granddaughter, Eleanor Lanahan. Scribner is publishing the book on November 22. During a recent interview with Newsweek, Lanahan said she first came across the paper dolls while exploring her mother’s attic as a child. “I’m a true fan of these dolls,” Lanahan said....

Developed by Polyarc, Moss is angled in a top-down, third-person view and follows a young mouse named Quill. Seeking greatness and justice in kind, Quill answers the call when she’s summoned for a journey of epic proportions. When a “mysterious stone awakens ancient magic” and a “distant evil extends its reach,” its up to Quill to navigate through long-forgotten lands, crack the code on mind-bending puzzles, and face off against menacing opponents....

In the first public appearance in his Kyiv office since the start of Russia’s invasion, the actor turned wartime leader pledged to beat back Russian forces and rebuild his country. In the video message on Monday night, Zelensky—who has reportedly survived numerous assassination attempts in recent days—also told his people that he would stay in the capital. “I’m not hiding,” he said. “And I’m not afraid of anyone. As much as it takes to win this patriotic war of ours....

In recent months, the rumor mill has been churning yet again, with the pair being spotted together more and more frequently. Taking to Instagram on September 1, Holland seemingly made things “Insta-official” by posting an image of him and Zendaya on set of the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home movie. In the adorable image, Holland dons full Spider-Man attire while Zendaya rests her chin on his shoulder to take the snap in the mirror....

This isn’t the gimbal for you if you want something to stabilise your phone photography, but if you’ve got a ‘proper’ camera and want to expand your video options there aren’t many better options. Design and build This is above all where the Weebill-S triumphs, with a design that’s compact, portable, and yet still feature-rich. The gimbal includes locks for each of the three axis for individual calibration and tuning, with a two-part quick release plate for the camera that’s easy to remove and compatible with other tripod systems in case you need to move from one platform to another....

After four matches in Group F, the reigning European champions are second behind Borussia Dortmund, with a five-point cushion to Tuesday’s opponents. Having just beaten city rivals Atletico Madrid in LaLiga and with a clash against Barcelona on the horizon, there could have been a temptation to focus only on progression. Zidane does not see it that way, though, and he is expecting to leave the Portuguese capital with all three points....

The Warriors, who won the Cosafa Cup for a record fifth time in South Africa in July, have been invited to participate at the Cecafa in Kenya from November 25 to December 9. Zimbabwe’s invitation was contained in a letter sent to ZIFA president Philip Chiyangwa by the Cecafa secretary-general, Nicholas Musonye, last week. It also cements the strengthening ties between the Cosafa and Cecafa regions as well as the North African zone....

The Swiss canton of Zurich voted overwhelmingly today to crack down on hooligans, including restricting movements of fans, after violence at several football and hockey matches. Some 85.45 percent of voters in the northern canton voted in favour of the change, according to final results published on the cantonal administration’s website. Zurich thus became the first of Switzerland’s 26 cantons to take an official stand on the measures adopted by the national police force last year following several violent incidents....

As seen below in the video courtesy of Gematsu, the two minute trailer highlights a large number of different features that will be included in the game, but unfortunately, the clip lacks the soundtrack which was intended to be played along with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild footage. As it happens, Nintendo originally compiled and posted these particular segments of gameplay together and posted them as a series of trailers on the game’s official Japanese website, with the musical score being available as a wonderful, albeit optional accompaniment to the viewing experience....

Bale was jeered during Madrid’s fitful 3-2 LaLiga win over lowly Huesca on Sunday – the latest unhappy episode in an underwhelming season for the Wales international, who has seen a perceived failure to integrate with his team-mates off the field come under increasing scrutiny. Zidane left Bale on the bench for last season’s Champions League final against Liverpool, only for the forward to come on and produce a match-winning brace in the final game of the Frenchman’s initial tenure....

The Serie A leaders will be seeking to avenge their 4-1 loss in Cardiff last May when they host Madrid in the first leg of this season’s quarter-final tie. Zidane, though, does not think his team’s emphatic triumph in their last meeting will play a role in the outcome of the showdown in Turin this week. “We will try to play a good match, but the events of 10 months ago will have no bearing on this game,” he told a news conference....

PCB chairman Najam Sethi told the Dawn newspaper that the tour was still on as Zimbabwe Cricket Union had approached the ICC for a loan. “They have asked us to wait until April for the final decision on the tour as they are expecting support from the ICC,” he said. The tour is scheduled for August. Sethi said if Zimbabwe Cricket fails to host Pakistan in August than the PCB would look at alternate options for its team, but Pakistan would not host the series at home as it was not cost-effective....

Sri Lanka were 170-3 in their second innings at stumps on the fourth day, still needing another 218 to beat Zimbabwe, who also recently won their maiden one-day international series against the hosts. Kusal Mendis was unbeaten on 60 with Angelo Mathews, who stepped down as captain after the ODI series defeat, on 17 not out. Zimbabwe captain Graeme Cremer picked up 2-67 in Sri Lanka’s second innings to add to his five-wicket haul in the first innings....

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, became a Test playing nation in 1992. They had a golden run in the late 1990s, but never quite made it to the highest level. Yet, contests between the two sides have always been hard-fought. For instance, take the second T20I in the recently concluded series between the two nations. Despite scoring a mere 119 runs batting first, Zimbabwe managed to beat Pakistan. The African country also defeated their Asian opposition against all odds in an ODI, via the Super Over, last year....

This article discusses whether zinc works for colds, its side effects, and how to take it. Benefits of Zinc for Colds Since the original 1984 research report on zinc, more recent studies have reported mixed results about whether zinc may shorten the duration of a cold and address symptoms. On the whole, however, studies show that zinc can help ease symptoms and the duration of illness. For zinc to be effective, it needs to be taken within a day of symptom onset and on a regular basis....

“I don’t remember the three times my mom tried to kill herself before I was five. I do remember visiting her in the hospital, and I remember the long drive when dad kidnapped me,” one piece in the “Autobiographies” issue begins. Another, in “Compulsions,” recites the real-estate listings a man visits week after week–with no intention of ever buying. Not every piece in 400 Words is a gem. Sharpe gets her submissions–hundreds of them, all for no pay–by posting prompts on her blog and the Web site Craigslist, drawing writers and nonwriters alike; collectively, their work is personal, fascinating and distilled to the very core....
